Broke out the old CTX and hunted some areas where dirt had been moved at a favorite local park. Got very lucky and ended a 15-year long drought on Standing Liberty quarters, I hadn't found one since 2011! Found a Washington quarter and a few wheats also, was a really nice day to detect.

    That's a decent start with a slq, congrats 👍

    I Know it's environmental, but I like the coloration pattern on the SLQ. What are the dates on the crusty greenies?

    Thanks! Yeah, I always like the ones with interesting patina. The Washington was in a soggier area that started to degrade the silver a bit. Only the 1942 wheat has a date, the others are too far gone.
